Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F2871CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters: Resistance value of 2.87 kOhms, tolerance of ±1%, and power rating of 0.25W (1/4W) must be identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Package type must be 1206 (3216 Metric) with two terminations. Physical dimensions and height specifications must be compatible with the original footprint.

Environmental & Thermal Parameters: Temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C and operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C must be maintained.

Compliance & Certifications: RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity are required. REACH unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification must be preserved.

Composition: Thick film construction is the standard for this category.

Three substitute parts meet these criteria: CRCW12062K87FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-8ENF2871V (Panasonic Electronic Components), and RC1206FR-072K87L (YAGEO).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CRCW12062K87FKEA (Vishay Dale): This substitute is qualified for new designs. It maintains active product status and includes automotive AEC-Q200 certification. All electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification. Height specification of 0.024" (0.60mm) is within acceptable tolerance for 1206 package footprints. Packaging is supplied as Tape & Reel (TR) with 29,182 pieces in stock.

RC1206FR-072K87L (YAGEO): This substitute is qualified for new designs with active product status. All electrical parameters match the original specification. Physical dimensions of 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm) and height of 0.026" (0.65mm) are compatible with standard 1206 footprints. Packaging is supplied as Tape & Reel (TR) with 1,637 pieces in stock.

ERJ-8ENF2871V (Panasonic Electronic Components): This substitute meets all electrical and mechanical specifications but carries a "Not For New Designs" product status. It includes automotive AEC-Q200 certification. Height specification of 0.028" (0.70mm) remains within acceptable tolerance for 1206 package applications. This part is suitable for replacement or repair of existing assemblies only. Packaging is supplied as Tape & Reel (TR) with 64,438 pieces in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW12062K87FKEA be used as a direct replacement for RCS3216F2871CS?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (2.87 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W), operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and are packaged in 1206 (3216 Metric) format. Both are RoHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating. The height difference of 0.002" (0.06mm) is within standard PCB assembly tolerances for 1206 components.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF2871V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: The "Not For New Designs" status indicates that Panasonic has discontinued this part for new product development. While it remains functionally equivalent and suitable for repair or replacement of existing assemblies, new circuit designs should utilize CRCW12062K87FKEA or RC1206FR-072K87L.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: All three substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for high-volume SMD assembly. The original RCS3216F2871CS packaging specification was not provided in the input data. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement or assembly department before ordering.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain the anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant features of the original?

A: The original RCS3216F2871CS specifies anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant features. CRCW12062K87FKEA and RC1206FR-072K87L are thick film resistors with moisture-resistant properties. ERJ-8ENF2871V is also a thick film resistor. All three parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating robust moisture handling. Specific anti-sulfur treatment details are not provided in the substitute part specifications; verify with the manufacturer if this feature is critical for your application.

Q: What is the significance of the height differences among the substitute parts?

A: The height variations (0.024" to 0.028") reflect manufacturing tolerances across different manufacturers. All values remain within the acceptable range for 1206 (3216 Metric) package specifications. These differences do not affect PCB footprint compatibility or reflow soldering processes in standard SMD assembly.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts within the same assembly?

A: Yes. All substitute parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the 1206 package. However, for consistency in manufacturing and quality control, it is recommended to use a single part number per assembly lot.
